Chapter 8: Final

 

Via's POV

Deep breath, fake smile, and let's face society!

I kept on taking long strides along with Mackenzie towards our classroom. I couldn't afford to be tardy after being absent yesterday.

"Hmm.. Via?"

"Mackenzie?" I inquired, keeping my eyes in front. My tone was nonchalant, but it didn't sound uninterested or mad.

It simply was plain and blank.

"Nothing. I'll spare it for lunchtime." She replied, getting the hint that I wasn't in the greatest mood to talk just yet. It wasn't really that I was pissed or something. I actually felt somehow secure after Cameron said he'd help me make new memories. I was just very serious today.

From now on I'll be very serious with everything.

With my studies, with protecting my image and with the friends I'll make.

I entered the room just in time before the teacher began to check the attendance. Mackenzie sat down at the back because she was tall enough to manage, and I, I'm just a potato so I had no choice but to take the seat in front of Lance and Laura, who were apparently flirting with each other.

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

I was situated between two girls giving me 'looks', and that was when I inferred they were Laura's cronies.

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

"Okay, class. Let us begin. Newton's universal Law of Gravitation..."

The lesson was so easy! I can't help but get bored. Believe it or not, sometimes being smart, not to brag has its disadvantages. You can't find interest in class discussions anymore because you already know what the teacher keeps on blabbering about.

Peace guys! I'm being so cocky.

I couldn't take it anymore. Physics kills. I almost fell asleep, and take note, I was in the freaking front row.

I then began to doodle and daydream. Yes, again for the thousandth time, I'm weird and I know it.

"Ms. Stellar, are you even listening?" the physics teacher called my attention, making the whole class react. I got startled by that sudden move of our teacher, our oh-so-coy teacher reprimanding me.

"Yes ma'am, I am." I answered, smiling.

I figured, 'fake it 'till you make it'.

"Okay, if you really were listening, can you state how gravity was coined?" The teacher crossed her arms over each other, and a smirk brushed on her face.

I felt so ashamed, and I knew I was blushing.

I heard giggles from here and there, probably from Laura's cronies. I faced the whole class to see an egotistic biatch smirking with her boyfriends arm hung over her.

'Prove. Yourself. Via!'

Then I stated every single thing I knew about the whole story of gravity, from the earlier concepts of different scientists such as Galileo, and of course, who could forget the 'Apple falling from the tree' story, down to the mere origin of the word gravity, which I believed was gravitas from Old French, or something.

That was a mouthful.

"Wow, so I guess you have been listening, and reading your books. Very well then, take your seat. You get an A plus for recitation. Good job, Ms. Stellar." The teacher commended me and I just grinned taking a seat.
